Downstream bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dia/+bug/1360199 lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Release: 14.04 apt-cache policy dia dia: Installed: 0.97.2-15ubuntu1 Candidate: 0.97.2-15ubuntu1 Version table: *** 0.97.2-15ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status What is expected to happen when importing the attached .vdx file exported from Visio 2007 Professional is that the text does not move around. What happens instead is the top most word TEST gets moved from the right of a server shape to the left. This is reproducible verbatim in both Ubuntu and Windows 7 x64.

Rather than "Dia moving text around" this looks like an unsupported feature with the VDX import. All the misplaced text is somehow aligned to some objects. With Visio Viewer you can see the respective object selected, when selecting the text. Dia does not have this labeling facility, but it should be possible to calculate the expected text displacement somehow (at least LibreOffice Draw can do it). Setting severity minor because text can be easily moved within Dia my the user.
